    What fighters were known to have a style that seems exhausting to watch? Who used a style that required lot of movement for every round while having incredible endurance?

    Aaron Pryor comes to mind.

    Good call on Pryor.

    Another guy that used a ton of upper body movement was Limon. Just think of what kind of shape a guy has to be in to bend at the waist and twist so much.

    The Klitschko brothers were never given enough credit for their movement. They moved their feet and waists and everything became an angle. I think that's a main reason they were so hard for guy's to try and solve. On tape, it looked easy. In the ring, they were always " doing something" .

    "Slapsie" Maxie Rosenbloom, Roy "Windmill" White, Tommy "Hurricane" Jackson?

    All with nicknames that connote a lot of energy being used.

    this

    He won by outworking more skilled guys

    I remember the Ronny Shields fight. Shields was more talented and better schooled but ****** just never let him breathe.
